Qualifications to hear Bhagavad Gita

  • Out of so many human beings who are suffering, there are a few who are actually inquiring about their position, as to what they are, why they are put into this awkward position and so on.
  • Unless one is awakened to this position of questioning his suffering, unless he realizes that he doesn’t want suffering but rather wants to make a solution to all suffering, then one is not to be considered a perfect human being.
  • Humanity begins when this sort of inquiry is awakened in one’s mind. In the Brahma-sūtra this inquiry is called brahma-jijñāsā. Athāto brahma-jijñāsā. 
  • Every activity of the human being is to be considered a failure unless he inquires about the nature of the Absolute.
  • Therefore those who begin to question why they are suffering or where they came from and where they shall go after death are proper students for understanding Bhagavad-gītā. 
  • The sincere student should also have a firm respect for the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such a student was Arjuna.
